Hi Guys!

I'm about to purchase a privately imported V35 at a good deal sometime next week. Vehicle has been complied and the only thing left is to register it.

I've never been to the pits before so I'm a little nervous :wacko:. I saw this thread which has some useful info :

http://www.skylinesa...st-help-needed/ but would appreciate any more advice i can get.

The car is pretty much standard except for the exhaust and suspension. It's got a Fujitsubo and s-tune when it was complied and passed.

I plan on taking it to Welshpool cause i heard good things about the centre.

Here's a link to the carsales ad :

Appreciate any suggestions or advice. Thanks in advance.

I wouldnt be too nervous but make sure you get ALL the paperwork (import approval/complience etc) before picking up the car other than that keep it clean etc etc etc.

Thanks for that! Any ideas how much it's going to cost for all of it? From the pits to a 12 months rego?

cheers

from memory its like $70 for the pits, but i have never been over so cant say. Also i do remember everyone recomending ringing up and booking/paying for a spot before you get there to make it quicker. Rego is around 400-450 for my cars on private so id expect somewhere around there.

One other thing. This car, when it was complied, actually came with a 17" stock rims and tyres. The seller had two of the same model cars. He then sold the other car with the original tyres that came with the car i'm getting. So i'm left with the 18" deep dish rims.

I hope they don't make a fuss about it cause i don't know where i can find the original set of tyres and rims. Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?

      My thermostat had no gasket?

      By Duncan · Posted

      But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Duncan · Posted

      What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?

      Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By Duncan · Posted

      I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
